Philippines' Taal Volcano still emits white to dirty white steam-laden plumes

MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN): The main crater of Taal Volcano continued to emit white to dirty steam-leaden plumes just two weeks after the volcano’s alert was lowered to Alert Level 3, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said on Sunday (Feb 9).

In a 8am Taal Volcano Bulletin, Phivolcs said the activity of the main crater was “characterised by moderate emission of white to dirty white steam laden plumes rising 200 to 300 metres high before drifting southwest.”
